On the way to a half way decent barn owl painting, I thought I’d show you the dud I made for a laugh of course, I know a few of my visitors enjoy that kind of thing. You’d think by now I’d be a watercolour whizz, not the case sadly. I do like the drawing of the brown owl though, shame I lost interest but it happens.

The barn owl I made was just thin layers of watery watercolour built up over days. It’s a real shame that the glue perished on my watercolour block, hence all that nasty paper buckling, which should not have happened! Looks like this guy is going to live under a very heavy box for a few months.

Hi, I am a self-taught watercolourist from England, I started oddkness.com to serve me as a journal to discover who I was and where I stand as an artist.

My work is devoted to the glorification of animals, being deprived their companionship in childhood has led me to become even more enchanted by their existence. I hope you enjoy my posts, and if you do — don’t be a stranger, I’d love to hear from you.
